      The tomato basil soup was quite good. I had the short rib risotto, which was outstanding - the short rib was very tasty, falling off the bone, and the risotto was perfectly al dente. My wife had the eggplant parmesan - she loved the breading on the eggplant. The marinara sauce was a little sweeter than she likes, but that’s a matter of taste. We finished with the tiramisu, which had a nice texture but needs a little more intensity in the flavors. We’ll be back to try more from the menu on our next trip.

      This is my favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh. It's a fantastic experience from start to finish. Took out of town family from Arizona yesterday and they loved it as well.

      First time there. Tagliatelle was good. Chittara was not remarkable. Salmon risotto was good. Fried Calamari was tasty. Ambiance was just ok. Lava cake pretty good pistachio cake was average. Prob going to try some other Italian spots next time I’m in town.

      We had a really nice meal here while visiting Pittsburgh for college visits. Good was excellent and our server was very nice. The restaurant seemed short staffed as the two tables next to us were not cleared while we were eating. That was disappointing but not a dealbreaker. There were lots of other diners there so I think it must be a popular spot in Oakland. Would recommend!

      The saltiest,non-appealing,burnt chicken parm I have ever seen. The rigatoni was really macaroni with disgusting orange sauce on it. The bread that was served was hard as a rock,like it sat out all day and the wedding soup was bright orange.
